Sometimes the truth you need to see comes in the asparagus section.
I was speed shopping. Six items: Chick peas. Asparagus. Lemons. Avocado. Cheerios. Peanut Butter.
As I approached the asparagus, a woman I know from a writing group here in town was coming in the store. I don't know her well, but we chatted for a moment about her new book.
She asked what I was up to these days, how my book was doing.
"I'm traveling a lot," I answered. "Meeting incredible people and doing readings and having great fun, but it's always so nice to get back to my real life," I said.
"Sounds like that IS your real life," she answered.
